intro

Since the first day I played this game, I’ve been wondering why courtiers can’t have their own families and children. After learning more about the game, I realized that this is due to serious performance issues.

Courtiers, in many ways, are merely consumable resources in the game. Still, this reduces immersion—I want a more prosperous and lively court. Unfortunately, in the base game, arranging marriages for courtiers is extremely tedious, and I doubt most players have the patience to keep doing it.

That’s why I created this mod, and it was inspired by Less Generated Courtiers, Population Variations, Balanced Fertility.

Features
Auto Courtiers Marriages

Marriages or betrothals are triggered within 1 to 10 years after a courtier reaches adulthood(it happens randomly for adults), in order to simulate cases of late marriage and childbearing.
Choose local wandering first, then spawn characters.
The spawning characters’ template are drawn from Population Variations, so you get colorful bridegrooms & brides.

I know some of you want courtiers to propose marriage and have the liege approve it, but that spam would make the game’s pop-ups quite annoying.

Balanced Fertility

Courtiers can have numbers of children just like their lieges. Sterility (infertility) is also enabled. For this mod to function properly, the Population Control mod is required.
